Yes, I know you have a lot on your plate, Riot.
Yes, I know that there are a lot of things to balance, bugs to tweak and champions to make.
Yes, I know that you also have personal needs to attend to in order to insure your happiness.
Yes, I know you're edgy about giving us a solid release date after letting us down time after time with other projects.

But it's okay to give us a rough estimate for the release date. It doesn't have to be exact, but at least enlighten us a little. I believe that the whole community will enjoy it.

I realize that you are also very concerned about pushing back a release just to insure stability and balance. This will be acceptable, as long as you give us another release date to accompany this push-back.

Tl;dr Please give us a release date. If you do, but have to do a push-back, fully expect a backlash from the community (which are a bunch of thin-skinned hardliners).

another one of those topics made purely to get views and responses, i can tell by the title.

"Riot, it's time to be frank"
"Let's have a nice discussion, Riot"
"Riot, do the dishes"

we get it. you're not getting views on this topic tho, k? attention wh0re
